## What it is
A collection of custom Bash and Python scripts that automate penetration testing tasks including reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, and Metasploit payload creation. It provides a menu-driven interface designed for Kali Linux and Ubuntu.

## Use cases
- automate recon on a target domain
- run nmap scans against a CIDR range
- generate a malicious Metasploit payload
- enumerate subdomains and emails for OSINT
- generate HTML engagement reports
- scan web apps for security issues

## When to choose
- you use Kali Linux or Ubuntu for pentesting
- you want scripted automation of recon and scanning workflows
- you need quick Metasploit payload generation and listener setup

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based pentesting platform
- you are not authorized to test the target systems
- you need a cross-platform tool for Windows or macOS
